Do you need to lift and move heavy objects weighing hundreds of kilograms as part of your daily work routine?
If so, you’ll know that your workers are at constant risk, since musculoskeletal injuries and disorders are the leading cause of workplace injuries in Singapore.
Lifting magnets are the answer to your needs. They can hoist ferrous items weighing up to 2 000 kg and are far superior to slings, lifts, chains, and grabs.
When you’re working with this kind of weight, you can’t afford to take chances. That’s why you need the strong holding power of our industrial lifting magnets.
How do Lifting Magnets Work?
Magnetic lifting takes place courtesy of high powered magnetic devices that make it easy for workers to handle heavy bulky objects safely. It as simple as these four steps:
- The worker places the lifting magnet over the object
- They activate the magnet
- The magnetic item sticks to the magnet and the magnet holds it in place
- The worker moves the object via a pulley system attached to the magnet
It’s easy to see how a magnetic lift saves time and effort while reducing risk. Lifting heavy objects is a dangerous pastime, and it’s strictly regulated by health and safety legislation.
Types of Lifting Magnets
These lifting devices are commonly used in several industries. These include:
- Steel
- Food
- Environmental
- Communications
- Petrochemical
- Engineering
- Commercial
- Retail
One size never fits all when it comes to such a diverse range of industries, so it makes sense that there are several types of lifting magnets designed for different purposes. Chan Man Lee stocks three of the best types, namely:
UltraLift Plus
Known as the world’s safest lifter, this magnetic lift device can handle up to 2000 kgs when lifting flat objects, and 800 kg for round objects.
It features a locking switch handle mechanism, a 3:1 safety factor, and a locking eye mechanism.
UltraLift LM
This compact magnetic lifter is perfect for safe, general-purpose lifting and can handle loads comparable to the UltaLift Plus. It also has the locking switch handle mechanism.
UltraLift TP
This thin plate lifter is specifically designed for lifting thin pressings and plates safely thanks to a locking switch handle mechanism. This lifter can manage up to 400 kg of flat metal materials.
The Benefits of High-Quality Lifting Magnets
All our equipment falls in the realm of permanent lifting magnets, so operation and installation are as easy as can be. They also feature permanent magnet technology and onboard switching, so you can operate and install them with a minimum of fuss.
What’s more, the lifters only need access to the top face of the load, resulting in more efficient handling and storage.
